“What to do after bingeing on the sixty-two episodes of Breaking Bad? Pick up this engaging collection and consider the multiple meanings of the complicated and contradictory world of Walter White.”—John Mack Faragher, author of Eternity Street: Violence and Justice in Frontier Los Angeles
“The hope that the West used to exemplify has changed, and what we used to believe to be true is under siege. Cormac McCarthy in No Country for Old Men made us aware that evil now walks the earth in ways we have not seen before. Good people, like Walter White in the groundbreaking, award-winning television series Breaking Bad, when faced with unanticipated struggles, have to find new ways to solve their problems and to move forward in this postmodern world, where Father does not necessarily know best. The critical essays in this book provide insight into why we are where we are and what we might need to do to move forward.”—Edgar H. Thompson, Emory & Henry College
